After Lin Hongyuan showed off his identity as the Dragon Palace, he was immediately invited to an elegant cabin on the second floor. Zhao Zhu's eyes lit up when he entered the cabin. There was a woman sitting on a large green banana leaf, holding a small Yanzhu konghou in her arms. Her left hand held the konghou while her right hand pulled the strings. Her eyes were moist. The woman's appearance was not extraordinary, but she was slender and delicate, causing people to feel pity for her. The konghou originated in the Western Regions, flourished in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and stopped in Liyang. Because a certain noblewoman in the imperial court did not want the sound of the konghou to spread throughout the court, and the famous scholars and Confucian scholars added fuel to the fire by slandering the konghou's decadent sound. Thus, it was gradually overshadowed by the similar guzheng. The wife of Ye Baikui, the head of the famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period, was famous for playing the konghou. Zhao Zhu quickly approached the woman on the banana leaf and squatted down. He waved his hand at the thin woman, indicating for her to play the strings. He closed his eyes and listened. Under the woman's fingers, the music lingered and Zhao Zhu listened attentively. Hsu Fengnian looked at this guy with new eyes. Lin Hongyuan dismissed the maidservants and personally poured tea. He explained in a low voice, "His Highness is proficient in music. He is an expert in the guqin, zheng, flute, drum, konghou, and so on."
There was an untimely knock on the door outside the cabin. Lin Hongyuan got up and opened the door. The second-class steward of the Quicksnow Mountain Villa suppressed his excitement and tried to speak in a calm tone, "Reporting to the Dragon Palace Fairy, we just received news that the Mount Hui Mountain Master, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, has put up a life and death contract on the main arena. Whoever can withstand ten moves from her can choose any three secret manuals of Mount Hui. Whoever can defeat her will be the master of Mount Hui. The Mount Hui Mountain Master also threatened that if no one accepted the challenge or knocked her out of the arena, then the title of Wulin Alliance would fall into the hands of the Xuanyuan family. But today, as long as someone enters the arena, she will not show any mercy. At this moment, everyone is excited and waiting for our Villa Master to start the competition. "
Lin Hongyuan nodded. The steward lowered his head and left in a hurry. He thought that the woman in purple was really a noble of the villa. She wanted to fight against Jianghu alone. No matter who won or lost in the end, it would be a big gimmick. Anyway, it would be beneficial to the Snow Villa. More than twenty large ships gradually dropped their anchors and stopped, surrounding a large square platform on the lake. Colorful flags fluttered in the wind. Among the huge ships, there were more than a hundred somewhat shabby little black boats. There were all kinds of people, and the atmosphere was vigorous. The Wulin world was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the Jianghu was surging with great momentum. Hsu Fengnian, Zhao Zhu, and Lin Hongyuan all walked to the bow of the ship on the second floor. Compared to the crowded first floor, the second floor was much more empty. A few Jianghu heroes who were particular about putting on airs moved a large number of people to bring chairs over. They sized up Hsu Fengnian and the other two. However, among the three of them, apart from Lin Hongyuan, who was holding the Green Gou, who could be considered to have a bit of style, the other two did not seem to have any weight, so they did not pay much attention to them. Zhao Zhu touched the bridge of his nose, which was somewhat frozen red, and said in a low voice, "Originally, I thought that if that little beauty holding the Konghou was an assassin, that would be good. In this trip to Jianghu, other than being a coolie for Young Palace Master Lin, who doesn't even earn half a copper coin, I haven't seen any big scenes. Looking at those few hair-raising battles of yours, it's really infuriating."
On the arena, the woman in purple stood in the center with an overbearing aura. She really did have the meaning of a peerless talent of her generation. In the future, who knew how many Jianghu heroes would find it difficult to let go of this scene.
Hsu Fengnian retracted his gaze and sneered, "You built so many temples in Nanjiang, were they all just to fool people?"
Zhao Zhu laughed foolishly and said, "A real man doesn't boast about his past glory. This year, I didn't cause much trouble. Mister Nalan said it well, to be kind to others, one must be kind to others."
Hsu Fengnian dismissed it with a laugh.
Zhao Zhu suddenly gave Hsu Fengnian a bear hug and patted Hsu Fengnian's back with all his strength. "Brother, Big Brother will go back first. Seeing you is enough. If I don't hurry back, Mister Nalan will lecture me again. If he is determined not to let you go, he can talk for hours without drinking a sip of tea. I am not afraid of the heavens or the earth, but I am afraid of his foot-binding preaching. "
Hsu Fengnian was stunned for a moment and asked, "You didn't see how Mount Hui Mountain's Mountain Chieftain went on a killing spree?"
Zhao Zhu let go and shook his head. "So what if he became a Wulin Alliance Leader? So what if he became the world's number one? It's meaningless."
Hsu Fengnian sent Zhao Zhu and Lin Hongyuan to the stern of the first floor. The colorful boat was tied to the small boat with a black awning. Before Zhao Zhu left, he took out a copper coin from his money pouch and stuffed it into Hsu Fengnian's hand. He smiled brightly and said, "I, Zhao Zhu, can be considered a half-baked noble descendant of the heavens. In this lifetime, I have only known you as my friend. Whether or not you remember our old friendship, I, Zhao Zhu, will not forget. No matter how good or bad this world is in the future, as long as you are willing to come to my side, as long as I, Zhao Zhu, have food to eat, you won't starve, Hsu Fengnian. Other than not being able to send you your wife and son, everything else is fine. "
Hsu Fengnian held the copper coin and didn't say anything.
Lin Hongyuan said softly to Hsu Fengnian apologetically, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid that I will have to think of a way to send the Mysterious Stele Rubbing Finger to Beiliang later. I hope you will forgive me."
